This month`s safety topic is focused on practicing accident prevention. At ICS, we believe that accidents can be prevented through effective health and safety policies and programs. Accident prevention is at the foundation of health and safety culture in our industry and is paramount to ensuring worker safety and project success.
Some key components of accident prevention include regular safety meetings on- and off-site, hazard/risk assessment protocols, developing and following detailed safety policies/programs, and proper protective equipment. In addition to preventive measures, a large aspect of incident prevention is rooted in learning from past incidents through carrying out in-depth investigations. Accident prevention requires a multi-pronged approach and is vital to the safety of all in our organization.
By fostering open communication, encouraging near-miss incident reporting, and continuously improving our safety practices, we strive to create an environment where every team member is empowered to identify and mitigate potential hazards. Safety is a shared responsibility to protect our most valuable asset: our people!

As we continue celebrating 25 years in business, we would like to share the testimonial of someone who has held a vital role in our remedial construction practice since our early days. John, Director of In-Situ Remedial Construction, is an ICS Veteran who has pursued our mission with us for over 22 years! John leads our in-situ remediation work, successfully managing turnkey installation of groundwater-, soil vapor-, and dual phase-extraction & treatment systems as well as permanent injection infrastructure. John is a true subject matter expert in this industry and leverages his unique technical and practical expertise and experience to provide our clients with creative and value-added solutions at bid time and in the field during the execution phase of each project.
We asked John why he made the decision to stay with ICS for over 20 years, to which he quickly replied, “The ownership, their vision to expand and grow the company. I think that the ownership is approachable and that helps a lot, they embrace us! They are charitable and giving. I also enjoy working with field staff and the young engineers in the consulting world to broaden their vision, to provide value-added services and reduce costs on construction projects.”
John, we are incredibly lucky to work alongside you and value your dedication to ICS for over 22 years! The ICS family would not be the same without your presence and longtime mentorship.

Last Monday, our ICS NorCal team sponsored a hole at the WSPA Associates Annual Championship Golf Tournament in Moraga, CA! The Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) is a non-profit trade association that is dedicated to ensuring that Americans have reliable access to petroleum and petroleum products through policies that are socially, economically, and environmentally responsible. This well-organized tournament’s proceeds were passed forward to the Shared Energy Future Foundation (SEFF), a charitable arm of the oil and natural gas industry that works to advance the industry through powerful education and outreach regarding all forms of sustainable energy.
It was a pleasure spending the day connecting with new and familiar faces at Hole 10, through laughs, our business card raffle, golf, and a mutual interest in environmental sustainability. Thank you to WSPA for facilitating this event, we will see you next year!

Our Southern California project teams are actively performing the next phase of the clean closure excavation and restoration at a project site in Anaheim, CA! Our scope of work for this phase of work includes installing temporary shoring, excavation and management of a combined 34,000 cubic yards of material including contaminated mud, clean soil, and construction/demolition debris, including loading out impacted material for offsite disposal. Following completion of excavation activities, our team will perform backfilling of all excavated areas with clean stockpiled soil, generated processed debris, and imported clean fill material, followed by final grading of the site. We admire our team’s innovative approach to remediate/restore this site efficiently by maximizing the reuse of onsite materials, reducing import costs. Fantastic work, team!

August`s safety topic focuses on the importance of respiratory protection, often utilized on our project sites to protect our crews by eliminating exposure to potential airborne contaminants. At ICS, we take preventive measures to ensure the protection of our team`s wellness by maintaining and adhering to our written respiratory protection program.
It is critical that we are mindful of potential respiratory hazards by not only prioritizing proper respirator use but by also conducting continuous air monitoring and/or risk assessments. These measures can significantly reduce the risk of harmful inhalation exposures. When planning daily work activities, tasks with any potential exposures should be approached with extra caution and with the appropriate protective equipment in addition to respirators. All ICS team members are fitted for their respirators on their first day of employment and trained to understand the action levels that trigger different PPE requirements.
Safety is a shared responsibility, and we must stay aware of the signs of respiratory distress or respiratory equipment malfunction to protect the wellness and safety of one another! If you see something, say something!
